Methods for depositing thin films are important in generating functional materials for diverse
applications in a wide variety of fields. Over the last half-century, the layer-by-layer assembly …

BACKGROUND Over the past few decades, layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of thin films has
been of considerable interest because of its ability to exert nanometer control over film …

Halloysite is aluminosilicate clay with hollow tubular structure of 50 nm external diameter
and 15 nm diameter lumen. Halloysite biocompatibility study is important for its potential …

A new approach to fabricate polyelectrolyte microcapsules is based on exploiting porous
inorganic microparticles of calcium carbonate. Porous CaCO3 microparticles (4.5− 5.0 …

This review addresses the fabrication and properties of novel polyelectrolyte microcapsules,
with an emphasis on their mechanical and permeability properties. Ease of preparation …

Poly (l-lysine)/hyaluronan (PLL/HA) films were chemically cross-linked with a water soluble
carbodiimide (EDC) in combination with a N-hydroxysulfo-succinimide (NHS) to induce …

A new approach of encapsulation of proteins in polyelectrolyte microcapsules has been
developed using porous calcium carbonate microparticles as microsupports for layer‐by …

Ibuprofen microcrystals sized between 5 and 40 μm have been encapsulated with
polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) for the purpose of controlled release. The encapsulation …

Single‐cell nanoencapsulation, forming cell‐in‐shell structures, provides chemical tools for
endowing living cells, in a programmed fashion, with exogenous properties that are neither …

Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes was used to coat
fluorescein particles. These particles, with a size of 4− 9 μm, were prepared by precipitation …
